Welcome to the Lounge

The Lounge is rated PG. If you're about to post something you wouldn't want your
kid sister to read then don't post it. No flame wars, no abusive conduct, no programming
questions and please don't post ads.

1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.

The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.

2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.

4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.

5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]

6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.

7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.

Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.

We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

Righto Maunder hand over the keys, I need to go back and slap some sense in to people who are now enable stoopids to live and prosper.

Oh, and I have an ad in the top right corner that's wanting to sell me tickets to the opening round of the NRL on March 8 - 11. Need the time machine to go back to the matches I just bought tickets for.

Will have to check if it is still available when I get back home. Out and about and it isn't on the tablet now.

Facebook is moving in to Physics? Just say we wanted to appear as if we only screwed the pooch occasionally and not all the time.

Following loosely the awesome job of Kenny Kerr at Microsoft C++/WinRT | Modern C++ for the Windows Runtime and latest C++ specifications (v17 now), I am wondering if C++ is gonna make a come back?
And if it's worth doing large scale (home, Win10, UWP) app in C++?
Or I could just stick to C# - UWP.

In fact I'd like to see C++ make a big dent in the job market once again.. C++17 looks quite slick. But I don't hold my breath. Even AI people (the upcoming IT kid) doesn't use much C++ on public API, as far as I can see...

Do they at least still include the part where you slap someone in the face with a glove and agree upon a meeting with witnesses at dawn? That used to be the best part when someone violated the code of conduct.

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I'm thinking like a wedding taking place where some folks could be interested in watching the live stream, perhaps because they are too busy or not feeling well (e.g., an infirm) to attend. At the bare minimum, it would have to be a cameraman, a key grip / M.C., and a network tech that makes sure the stream is being done properly and can answer calls from folks watching the stream who are having issues. It would seem that this could be done by any tech shop, at a price of no more than $250/hr. I wonder how such a place would be advertised.

How sad is it that myself and a coworker of mine are both pretty excited right now, after finding out that the next release of Windows is finally bringing a customizable setting so you can choose to NOT automatically hide scrollbars?

Who ever thought hiding scrollbars was a great idea in the first place?

That is how you keep animals excited : deprive them of something they like and are used to, and give it back to them after a little while.
For us it is working the same, except that we are sometimes even willing to pay to have them back.
